Liam's girlfriend, Sarah, was a kind and understanding soul. She had always known about Liam's feelings for Ethan, and she had never tried to force him to be someone he wasn't. She knew that Liam was struggling with his sexuality, and she respected his journey.
When Liam confessed his feelings for Ethan, Sarah didn't hesitate to support him. She knew that Liam was happier with Ethan, and she wanted him to be free to be himself.
"It's okay, Liam," she said, her voice soft. "I understand. I've always known that you had feelings for Ethan. I saw it in the way you looked at him, in the way you talked about him. I knew that you were holding back, that you were afraid."
Liam looked at her, his eyes filled with gratitude. "You do?"
She nodded. "Yes. I think it's time you two faced your fears and finally admitted what you feel for each other."
Liam and Sarah had a long talk that night, their conversation filled with tears and laughter, apologies and forgiveness. Sarah told Liam that she loved him, but she also loved him enough to let him go. She knew that he deserved to be happy, and she didn't want to hold him back.
The next day, Liam broke up with Sarah, his heart heavy with guilt but also filled with a sense of relief. He had finally admitted his truth, and he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
